Hi
I am new to this forum and have been reading this thread with keen
interest. I have an Altmann DAC (12 v, ideally sealed lead battery) and
the SB3 (5 v). I have been exploring the idea of buying a quality linear
power supply and stumbled upon this website which seems
I am very happy with the VDA-2 24 Bit DAC from Channel Islands Audio.
Reasonably priced, small, very high quality.

The term normalize usually implies that the audio data is changed to
reflect the normalized sound. Replaygain, on the other hand, does not
change the audio data. Rather, it writes gain adjustment values to the
tags.
You can have SlimServer process the Replaygain values, or have

It's when you add ReplayGain to this that the CPU runs out of cycles:

just use the microsoft tool wmal2pcm.exe to convert the WMA lossless

then it should be no problem to convert it to whatever with audacity.
BUT - set the project sample rate to 96 Khz before converting to target

I wouldn't recommend it. It has outputs you don't need and it does'nt
look like a house-friendly case. Search this forum for other
suggestions.

Any suggestions for a DAC that contains a attentuator to avoid need for
a pre-amp. I am considering the Benchmark DAC1 which has this, but any
others out there at more affordable level?
thanks

My Shek D2 has a built-in attenuator in that its output is lower than
normal,
I use a Lavry DA-10 DAC with my SB3. It includes a volume control and
has 3 selectable inputs. This allowed me to eliminate my preamp and run
the DAC straight to the amp but also be able to use the optical out of
my CD player. (The SB3 uses the coax out.)
I'd tried out the Transporter but found

Is there any issue with the format of the file?

My squeezebox is pretty heavily modified as documented in a thread

I'm thinking of trying out the Transporter soon and will need another

Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice warm interconnect that
works well with the Transporter? It would be feeding into a VAC Avatar

Thanks for any thoughts.
Does anyone have technical info about the Citypulse DAC?
Specifically:
1. What DAC chip does it use?

I don't know the techincal details of the Citipulse, although I'm
guessing Gary knows. I strongly prefer it to the Benchmark (which I
really don't like much), but don't have an opinion of how it compares
to the Lavry (which I do like) since I have not heard them head to

It also has s/pdif output. You would use that for 2-channel audio, not

Yes might be true. I just quoted Eddie.
Have you heard this DAC? Tell me more!

OK - so you want 2 channel 24x96 or 24x192?
You're probably not going to find anything affordable / off-the-shelf
to decode HDMI, but enabling the existing s/pdif output could be a
relatively easy hack depending on how the unit is wired up inside. If
the internal DAC is still active while
